University UMC’s historic Sanctuary, built in 1909, is accessible to all people regardless of physical abilities. We have a wheelchair ramp at the south entrance of the Sanctuary on 24th Street. To access, please drive through the alley, from north to south, or from 25th Street to 24th Street, stop at the southeast corner of the church and let people in wheelchairs or walkers out of the car. The ramp is a few feet away from this corner. You will be entering through the south entrance of the Sanctuary on 24th Street. Also, an area of the church parking lot adjacent to Heinsohn Hall is reserved at all times for use by persons of limited mobility. An elevator serving all four floors of our Heinsohn Hall educational building is located to the right of the entrance from the parking lot.

Childcare

University UMC wants Sunday mornings to be the best part of every child’s week. Our excellent team of caregivers provides a safe, warm and loving environment for babies through toddlers during our worship services and Sunday morning classes. We make every effort to promote positive feelings about church and being part of God’s family—not just for children in our care, but also for parents. Parents are required to sign their children into and out of the nursery to ensure security. For more details about our Sunday morning childcare program, contact Natasha Ulack, Director of Children’s Ministry.
